Listen and Learn: First Spanish Words

by Sam Taplin

This looks like a book, but it's actually a clever sound panel that allows children to hear 128 Spanish words spoken by a Latin American speaker. Simply take one of the 4 cards (each features 16 words and pictures on each side) out of the envelope and insert into the slot as instructed. Press 'go' and then a picture to hear how the word is pronounced.

About the author

Sam Taplin grew up in a beautiful valley in Yorkshire, where he dreamed of being a writer, and after three years reading other people's books at university he started writing his own. He's been doing it ever since. When he's not writing about lonely rabbits or inquisitive bears, he likes doing card tricks, writing songs and playing long games of chess by the fire.

No es exactamente un libro, pero es una herramienta divertida para principiantes. El acento de la lectora es excelente.

I snagged this immediately with my hostess rewards. This is a fantastic way to introduce Spanish to your child. It comes with several different cards with a set of words on it. You plug them in and press the play button so it knows which card you're looking at. Then your child can press the picture and it will tell you the word in Spanish. The word is also written in Spanish below the picture. It's so important for your child to hear the Spanish language at a young age in order to pick up the language easier and pronounce it correctly at a later age.

My daughter is only 2 so I help her put the cards in and out so she doesn't bend them, but she loves pressing the buttons to hear the words. My goal is to pull this out at least once a week so she hears the pronunciation. It even helps her English vocabulary because we talk about what each picture is depicting in English as well.
